Polarization and Interference confirm light is a wave.
It "is" neither; however, light interference is related to light's wave-like properties, not to its particle-like properties. Interference is something that affects all sorts of waves.
Intensity (brightness) and energy (frequency).
The concept of interference is a property of waves. When light is passed through double slits and projected on to a screen, the screen depicts fringes corresponding to interference patterns. This was demonstrated by Thomas Young.
In some experiments, light appeared to have wave properties, but in others, it appeared to have particle properties. The two ideas were believed to be in conflict - light was believed to be either one or the other. However, today it is accepted that light has both particle and wave properties.
The five properties of light and waves are: wavelength (λ), frequency (ν), speed, amplitude, and direction of propagation. Wavelength is the distance between two peaks in a wave, frequency is the number of wave cycles per second, speed is determined by the medium through which the wave travels, amplitude is the height of a wave's peak, and direction of propagation is the path along which the wave travels.
The wave model of light and the particle model of light.

Light possesses both properties of a wave and a particle. As a wave it is an oscillating electric and magnetic field. As a particle, light is a packet of energy that is treated as a point particle that does not have an electric field without a charge.

Light exhibits refraction, diffraction, dispersion, and all the other properties of waves.

Two models are needed to describe light because light behaves both like a wave and a particle. Wave theory is used to describe the wave-like properties of light such as interference and diffraction, while particle theory is used to describe phenomena like the photoelectric effect. Both models are necessary to fully explain the behavior of light in different situations.
If one polarizing filter is angled 90 degrees from the other, they will block all light.
One is photo electric emission phenomenon. The other one is Raman effect.
Two fields in a light wave are the electric field and the magnetic field. These fields oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of the light wave.
